Scholars turn to crowd funding to repair crowd funded stand

You'll have undoubtedly seen the images of the overturned stand at Potters Bar Town spread over social media since Friday, and now the club are asking for help to make the necessary repairs.

They explain:

In March 2019, our Club, Potters Bar Town FC, had to install two stands to avoid being relegated from the Isthmian Premier Division. Thanks to your generosity, we raised £5,000 on GoFundMe towards the £50,000 cost and made the deadline.
'Storm Eunice, with 70pmh winds, has blown one of the Stands completely on its back, causing much damage to it, as well as to our Water Irrigation Canons, the Home Dugout and a Storage Unit. These will all have to be reinstated and repaired. Today, as a Community Club, we encourage the youth and contribute to the good health and comfort of those watching. With more than 50 years at the Club, we are devastated, after all the effort that went in three years ago. We can raise some of the cost, but we need to ask for help. Please support us if you can.'

If you can help- and generous folks have already donated one thousand seven hundred pounds- please head to the Go Fund Me page here.
